The best Chenin Blanc from Bonnezeaux in the Loire Valley

Domaine des Petits Quarts Tradition Chenin AOP Bonnezeaux 2022

This wine is derived from the 26 hectares of Chenin Blanc belonging to Domaine des Petits Quarts in the Loire Valley of France. The sweet Chenin style from Bonnezeaux is highlighted in this highly decorated bottle. Honey, candied mango, and mandarin are procured by a lusciously succulent palate that sings on a chord of ripe acidity. A structure so balanced, and so intact - precision is everything. Leaving nothing for longing, the finish is everlasting. An accumulative totality of near Chenin Blanc perfection.
